User blog:Vermin King/The Four Creatures of the Apocalypse

This is a brief fan fiction about four of my characters. All characters belong to me and the Redwall universe was created by Brian Jacques.

The full moon hung in the black sky among the twinkling stars in the eerie silence of the night. Two figures were illuminated by the light shining down from the moon overhead. The two figures were cloaked in long robes with their hoods up. One of the two hooded creatures was tall and extremely lean, while the other was equally tall, but far more muscular. The more muscular of the two spoke up in a low, gravelly voice. "What in the name of Hellgates is taking those two so long to get here?"

His companion spoke in a raspy voice. "Be patient. They're the farthest from here."

The other creature crossed his arms and began to pace when he heard something. He looked up to see a very tall, muscular robed creature join them. The muscular robed creature spoke in a harsh tone. "We've been waiting for you!"

The lean robed beast spoke aloud to his muscular friend. "We're all here now."

The muscular creature looked this way and that until he saw the shortest of the four creatures standing off to the side. "You always appear from nowhere, Conquest!"

The smallest creature called Conquest did not speak, but looked up at the larger beast. No features on his face were visible. This was not only due to his hood being pulled low, but to his sable colored fur. Beneath the hood, the muscular robed creature could see the most unnerving feature of Conquest: his highly unusual bright yellow eyes that could hypnotize a beast. He looked away quickly to avert the steady gaze of Conquest.

The muscular creature, who was known to the other three as War, spoke up. "Now we haven't seen one another in seven seasons. What have the rest of you been up to during this time and what plans for the future do you hold?"

Conquest spoke in his low, quiet voice. "I have been roaming Mossflower country recruiting as many vermin as I can."

The leanest of the four, Famine, spoke. "Do you plan to use them to reach a certain goal in the future?"

Conquest spoke in response to his companion. "Every creature will know of what I have done when it has been done."
